It seems his editorial position, just at the edge of permission, is accepted, a sort of condoned annoyance.<br /><br />His piece today a perfect example, it's included <a href="http://tomclarkblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/erich-fried-jew-to-zionist-fighters-i.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-82918309946522233132015-10-14T04:19:23.856-07:002015-10-14T04:19:23.856-07:00It's interesting to compare the march in suppo...It's interesting to compare the march in support of the settlers shown here with the protests against the assault on Gaza where rightwing thugs assaulted the crowd as police stood by watching. I bet Gideon Levy's death threats are coming through thick and fast.<br /><br />Barghouti's clarity of thought and courage could be a real galvanising force in time.Mose23https://www.blogger.com/profile/01100756913131511440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-38394367688911855482015-10-12T12:14:31.355-07:002015-10-12T12:14:31.355-07:00Dr. Bassel AbuWarda, who took that sad photo cited...Dr. Bassel AbuWarda, who took that sad photo cited by L'Enfant, has miraculously survived the carnage of several wars in Gaza, serving heroically all through the horror of last year's Gaza onslaught at Al-Shifa (where he worked side by side with Dr Mads Gilbert), and also at the last of Gaza's hospitals for the disabled -- now, after last summer's one-sided war, a ruin. His current project: rebuilding it:<br /><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/savegazaahdaf" rel="nofollow">Save Gaza Project</a><br /><br />Dr AbuWarda is now again swamped with emergency cases, after last Friday's turkey-shoot at the eastern Gaza border fence (of which, curiously enough, there has been little notice outside the immediate sphere of this by now almost comically "asymmetrical" conflict). He was himself injured on Friday by IOF fire, proudly posted a selfie of his own bloodied and bandaged body laid out on on a gurney, and soon enough -- a few short hours later -- was up again dealing with the influx of dead and wounded, including the unfortunate Hassan family.<br /><br />Yahia Hassan, his 30-year-old pregnant wife Noor and 2-year-old daughter were awakened abruptly in the early morning hours of Saturday by an Israeli F-16 attack on another house in the neighborhood ("collateral damage"); the instant reduction to rubble of the home of these absolutely innocent people (another resident and his infant child were also seriously injured) was probably not deliberate, or in any case served no imaginable purpose, apart from the inflicting of terror and intimidation -- the business was, in short, a more or less routine exercise of the strategy of "collective punishment", dealt out summarily and unilaterally by the occupying oppressor to the occupied oppressed.<br /><br />I said "awakened", above, but in fact the wife and daughter may have gone directly into permanent darkness, or permanent radiance, in the first moments of the air strike.<br /><br />They may be gone, but the spirit has not gone away, and the return of the oppressed may in the long run assume many forms, including some perhaps unsuspected or imperceptible in the immediate moment.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-8430758821050928642015-10-12T02:55:37.172-07:002015-10-12T02:55:37.172-07:002 deaths "Noor Hassan pregnant 30 years old a...2 deaths "Noor Hassan pregnant 30 years old and her little child" in 1st hours of morning as a result of Israeli warplanes bombing on #Gaza: image via Dr. Bassel AbuWarda @DrBaselAbuwarda, 11 October 2015L'Enfant de la Haute Merhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122358316297267842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-16123411305114545212015-10-11T21:13:40.898-07:002015-10-11T21:13:40.898-07:00John Lydon w Public Image Ltd: Rise (Anger is an e...<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN-GGeNPQEg" rel="nofollow">John Lydon w Public Image Ltd: Rise (Anger is an energy), 1986</a>TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.com
